Tyre and Wheel sizes

[SuperNova!]

Just a quick one I have lowered my Nova by 40mm and currently have 14'' alloys with 175/65/14 tyres on.

I want to change to 15" but I am unsure of whether they will rub, I was thinking 195/50/15?? will they rub and will they feel good on the car??

Thanks for any help

get some 195/45/15'S and use and et 49 with no wider than 6.5 and they shouldn't rub

195-50-15 tyres are fine for novas. They're also a nice and cheap tyre size (yokos for 30quid on topgear.co.uk).

ANyway...I run 185-50-14 yokos on my 14's on both my novas and love 'em!
